On December 17, the 5th General Election and 2024 Academic Annual Meeting of the Dental Materials Professional Committee, Shanghai Stomatological Association, was successfully held at the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
At the meeting,
Professor Lin Kaili, the former chair of the Dental Materials Professional
Committee, first reviewed the main work during his term and presented the 2024
work summary report of the committee. Subsequently, Chief Physician Sun Jian,
Secretary-General of the Shanghai Stomatological Association, read out the
"Approval of the Request for the General Election of the 5th Dental
Materials Professional Committee." The General Election was presided over
by Chief Physician Li Xiaomei from the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval
Medical University. According to the election method, 17 standing committee

of Biomimetic Calcium Phosphate Composite Biomaterials," which sparked
heated discussions among the delegates. Material research is one of the
hotspots in the field of stomatological scientific research. This academic
annual meeting provided a platform for exchanges between material research
scholars and clinicians, promoting academic exchanges involving multiple
specialties and disciplines such as dental materials and stomatology, and
